Re: Which 1000w amp to get? Looking for efficiency!

Thanks. Now what about the Hifonics ZRX1500.1D vs the AB 80.1? It seems the Hifonics does more power for less, but why is the American Bass more expensive? Is this also related to efficiency?

it is because hifonics is cheap stuffs, but good value (watt : dollar ratio). if you are lookin for bump on the cheap, it'll do its job fine. i've got my brz1700 on 2 SA's with garbage 4g wiring and a stock 80amp alt on my LS400. bout to rewire with some 1/0 soon. just get whatever fits your bill and itll be good. no need to worry bout efficiency and whatever because you aint at a big setup.

wow dude really. efficiency is very important ,especially when using 1000 watts rms or higher on a stock electrical.a less efficient amp is alot harder on the cars power system ,ie... bad for the alt and battery.and please dont use cheap wire ,if so better get a fire extinguisher

you right. i personally just never let efficiency be as big a factor compared to OP.
